Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

What Liang En didn't know was that while he was standing in the lobby talking on the phone, his voice was transmitted to a room on the third floor through the microphone on a waiter not far away.

"This person shouldn't be an informant. It's better for us to focus on the other two guys." At this time, the two people in the guest room changed positions. The young man with blond hair was now listening to something with headphones. .

"You are right. It seems that Mr. Liang came here this time to help those rich people appraise and purchase some things." said the brown-haired middle-aged man who had been staring at the monitoring screen.

"This also explains why a scholar like him came to participate in such a high-end auction. After all, if he doesn't spend his own money, he will naturally look at some things that he may not be able to afford."

Obviously, these two guys who were probably the masterminds behind the museum theft only knew about Liang En only what they could easily find on the surface, so they didn't know much about Liang En's financial resources.

Of course, Liang En didn't know that he had gotten out of a trouble unknowingly. At this time, he returned to his seat smoothly, and then focused on the next collection.

Since this auction is not just an ordinary auction, in addition to the blockbuster auction items, there will also be some interesting items to arouse everyone's interest.

For example, this is the auction item that Liang En is paying attention to now. The photo is just a dusty wooden box, but it contains more than half a box of paper with a lot of words written on it.

According to the introduction in the auction brochure, this box of documents comes from the Erenberg Abbey in Alsace, France. It contains all German documents preserved by the monastery.

Considering that Alsace and Lorraine were German-speaking areas until the end of World War I, it is normal that there are a large number of German-language documents in the monastery.

However, with the Frenchization of the entire area, these German documents seemed out of date in the monastery, so after these ancient documents from more than a hundred years ago were discovered, they decided to sell these things through auction.

Because these items were old, the starting price was set at 2,000 euros. However, everyone present seemed to have little interest in this thing, and there was even a pause for the first time after the auction started.

In the end, Liang En successfully bought the box of documents at the reserve price of 2,000 euros because he always felt that the pronunciation of the monastery's name had left traces in his memory.

Although he didn't know what this thing was about for a while, but considering that the place that could leave a name in his mind should not be unknown, he decided to buy these things.

Of course, this is mainly because Liang En is rich now, so he can spend thousands of euros just to satisfy his curiosity. If I were driving around in a broken van to dig out houses, I would definitely not do this.

Finally, the more than four-hour auction came to an end. Just when the guests present were feeling sleepy, the organizer brought out the top lots in the auction.

"This is the prayer book of Mary I, the fifth King of England and the fourth King of Ireland in the Tudor Dynasty. Historically, Mary I was also known as Bloody Mary. She once burned 300 opponents to death——"

Just as the docent began to explain the prayer book, people present who were interested in this thing formed a queue and walked past the mobile glass cabinet containing the things, and Liang En was mixed in among these people.

"It looks real." Staring at the magnificent prayer book in front of him, he felt that this thing indeed looked like something that had been lost in an Irish museum. However, out of caution, he used it when he was close to the glass cabinet. Got a [Detection (N)].

"Eh-" Just after Liang En used this card, the feedback information was different from what he imagined. To be precise, it was the complete opposite.

[Bloody Mary was a devout Catholic queen, so she prayed every day in accordance with religious requirements. Therefore, I have used many prayer books during my life. 】

[Because these prayer books are of excellent design and binding, many people in later generations made some imitations based on the original ones, and now this thing is one of the modern imitations that is closer to the original version. 】

"Modern imitation?" Liang En frowned slightly after looking at the information fed back by the card. Because what the museum lost was an authentic piece, but the imitation looked so lifelike that if it weren't for the card, he felt that he would definitely admit it.

"Something is wrong." The moment he discovered that this thing was a fake, Liang En realized that the situation was different from what he had expected, because it was completely different from the content of the previous intelligence.

For Liang En, who had read many detective novels and movies before, he immediately realized that there might be some changes that he was not aware of.

After confirming this, he immediately adjusted his mood and pretended to visit the auction item like other guests, and then sat back in his seat.

In the subsequent auction, the starting price of this item started to climb from 100,000 euros, and finally fell at a price of 435,000 euros.

Because he had guessed in advance, Liang En paid attention to the final auctioneer in front of him on his left. As expected, many abnormalities were found in the last bidder.

For example, the other person doesn't look used to wearing a suit, especially a high-end watch on his wrist. What's even more strange is that the glasses this person wears are cheap versions of glasses.

At the same time, this person is obviously abnormal when bidding. Ordinary people will always think about it when bidding, but this person will follow anyone else who bids a price, as if money is not important to him.

From Liang En's point of view, this man did not look like a rich man, but he spent so much money without any hesitation. In any case, there was a strong sense of incongruity.

In addition to this prayer book, another item that was auctioned as the finale was an Uzi steel knife that was said to have been used by a certain Ottoman sultan.

Compared with the previous prayer book, this Uzi steel knife inlaid with emeralds and decorated with silver and rhinoceros horns aroused competition as soon as the auction started, and the price soon exceeded 800,000 euros.

Liang En made two bids at first, but gave up when the price exceeded 500,000 euros. Finally, the knife was sold for 1.15 million euros.

After the auction, Liang En paid for what he just bought and put the two items in the hotel safe, and then walked out of the hotel.

He pretended that he was just wandering around and sat down on a lawn not far from the hotel. He then took out a notebook and a pencil and used the [Sketch Artist (R)] skill to draw the final scene at the auction in the notebook. He took a picture of the person holding the prayer book and took the opportunity to check his surroundings to make sure there was no one following him.

After doing all this, he went behind a bush and took out his mobile phone, then dialed the contact number left by the previous police officer.

"Hello! Officer Burke, I have come out of the auction now. It seems that things are not the same as you thought before -"
